    A banana's technically like a legume or something. Or so I hear. Dunno if it's true.

    Perhaps it would change its shape if it were pluralized correctly like all the other fruits in your post!

    My favorite fruit is possibly either the orange or the strawberry or maybe some other kind of berry, or watermelon. Fruit is good.

    Banana's shape probably has something to do with how it evolved...

    Anyways, bananas rock. I love eating them.

    Well first there was the phone, then there was the banana phone and now there is the banana. Thusly bananas are the shape they are because the originally evolved from phones.

    Strawberries are cone shaped





    Also: tamarinds, Lotus Seeds, Persimmon, watermelon, Cherimoa, Doung, Papaya, Pears, dates...

    anyways there's a lot of fruits that aren't round.

    Bananas are the shape they are because they grow in clusters, similar to grapes but in fleur manner.


    Their unique shape is adapted to their environmental surroundings.

    My favourite fruit is dragon fruit (seen above 3rd down), mango and pineapple.

    Boldly go.

    I don't know. It's sort of a question that has no real valid answer.

    EDIT: Chemical's answer makes sense.

    An interesting thing on the topic of bananas, however, is that in some ancient civilizations (early tropical tribes, for example) women were not allowed to eat bananas because of their resemblance to (I'm just going to come right out and say it) the phallus. Because of this resemblance it was seen as unholy and an insult if woman ate it.

    It raises another question: "If there is a God, why did he choose to shape it this way, if it was to be interpreted in this fashion?" (Where's your Athiest's Worse Nightmare now, eh?)

    And....

    What's your favourite fruit?
    I like a lot of fruit. Strawberries, rasberries, kiwis, apples, oranges, bananas, pomegranates... the list goes on. I don't really have a favourite.

    I like anything citrus.

    Bananas have suck a weird shape because bananas got blown by the wind a lot and started bending from the wind's force and it evolved into the shape it is today.

    I think.

    Bananas, eh? There's something Freudian about that...

    Personally, I love cherries. Very tasty.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    Bananas are usually elongated because... Well I don't really know. There are so many bananas where I come from and nobody really cares much about how they came to life.

    I like the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian>Durian</a>. It smells rotten according to some but I really can't get enough of that fleshy custardy fruit.

    Happy Birthday to Me
